■MIDI Foot Controller

SoftStep2 is a highly evolved, innovative MIDI foot controller.

Its rugged, waterproof body, and ultra-lightweight, compact size make it easy to carry and use anywhere.

Equipped with smart sensor technology, the 10 pads detect not only up, down, left, and right movements, but also pressure, and can transmit up to six signals.

SoftStep2 redefines the traditional image of a foot controller. It can be used in a wide range of applications, from standalone operation in combination with an effects rack to use as a controller for MIDI keyboards and DAWs like Ableton Live and Digital Performer, enhancing your expressiveness in all situations, from composition to performance.
